Can you do some examples and documentation on the wiki about what
you're doing to maybe help others?

I have to ask to _please_ do add more info on the wiki about that cos
python is a language that has been growing a lot on commercial and
open source worlds.

I have a personal interest on that as well since I intend to do some
things with the mod_python module as well.

Thanks,

Mesquita

I don't know, I must have had a momentary lapse of reason .. but at least I documented it!

The reason it works now is because I checked in the LD change into tree yesterday.
It probably would have worked with the old copy of python too but I did not realize we did not make that change yet.

But you still have a fresh new python to boot!

I would love to give back in return for the help you guys have given me,
but I'm not sure what would be valuable. In terms of what it took to
get my stuff to work correctly, it just came down to Anthony checking in
the code fix. My other (failed) attempts to work against a differently
compiled Python weren't necessary. Moreover, it now works with the
python 2.4 I have on that machine as opposed to an "official" 2.5 python
package I was going to replace it with.

So I've updated the part in the wiki about this bug to basically just
say "Fixed in the code now":
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_python#ImportError:_.2F...2Fdatetime.so:_undefined_symbol:_PyExc_IOError
and
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_python#ImportError:_.2Fusr.2Flib.2F...2Fdatetime.so:_undefinedsymbol:__Py_ZeroStruct

What maybe isn't on the wiki (or at least I didn't see it) is that the
only way I was able to see the error output was to run freeswitch from
gdb. Would I have seen that log output by bumping up the loglevel from
fs_cli?

But otherwise what I'm doing so far is pretty generic to the other
examples:
<action application="set" data="myvar=python(mypackage.mymodule)" />

And mymodule is just a standard fsapi(session, stream, env, args)

The only "tricky" thing was that the code called from fsapi was calling
out to a postgresql database via sqlalchemy. But from python's point of
view, there's nothing clever about talking to databases, and from
freeswitch's point of view there's nothing clever about calling a python
module's fsapi function.

I'll poke around and see if there's anything in the mod_python area that
I could improve on, but if you could point out anything worthwhile that
I just accomplished (or rather, that y'all accomplished for me) I'd be
more than happy to document it. But near as I can tell, all I've really
done is help you guys fix the bug for which I was the loudest
complainer.

Actually, I punted and it's working with a generic python 2.4.something.
But having just found out that installall is the old lameness, maybe
that was the reason for my linking problems when trying to compile
against a niftier python.

I'll try that trick when next I hit a roadblock.

just wikify what you learn and drop by irc and say hi and we can find ways for you to help if you are interested.
